20x9.5F - 20x10.5R with +25 offset all around. and tire size recommendations? On Tein H-TECH Springs... approx 1.25 drop.

mods please move to right section if this is incorrect. thx.

Way too aggressive! The rear might be possible, IF it were 20 x 10 and not 20 x 10.5 and had rolled fenders with stretched tire set-up and a drop low enough to where the wheels camber in. The front is a different story, I don't think you'll be able to fit those no matter how much work you do unless your car is a widebody.

1.25" drop isnt a lot. eibach drops about 1".
i may be wrong, but, if you slap those wheels on with only a 1.25" drop, your wheels may be playing tag with cars next to you...not a good thing.

are you looking to tuck your wheels or for a flush fitment as Seize is referring to?

Air suspension, stretched tires, Pulled or even fender flares, yes the front will fit. But a lot of work

different cars require different offsets to look nice. just so many factors need to be considered.

be patient

I'd pass on them unless you're planning to pick up a G35 coupe or 350Z. =P I've been in those kinda situations many times, and waiting for the right set was well worth it. Just my 0.02. =Þ

Those would fit nicely, if you lower your car more than 1.25 inches, stretch your tires, and shave your fenders. You don't need a widebody to fit those.

Nope, still looking for one. The wreck is still in my garage. Waiting on insurance to cut me a check and take it away.

It's not impossible, but it will take a lot of work to make them fit. Are you browsing G35 forums? If so, look at wheels that came off the sedan. They have closer offsets to our car than the coupe.
